Children are shining as eco-warriors, transforming waste into wonders! With boundless creativity and teamwork, one group of young innovators collected plastic waste and crafted eco-bricks by filling plastic bottles with non-biodegradable materials. These eco-bricks were skillfully used to create a sturdy, sustainable boundary for a vibrant flower garden at their school, showcasing how small actions can make a big impact. Meanwhile, another group of students unleashed their artistic flair, upcycling discarded PET bottles into colorful planters. They decorated these planters with bright designs and planted beautiful flowering plants, adding a splash of nature to their school’s landscape. Their efforts send a powerful message: *Be Creative, Do Upcycling!* By turning trash into treasure, these kids are inspiring us all to rethink waste and embrace sustainable practices. This Diwali, let’s celebrate their ingenuity and commitment to a greener planet. Join us in making eco-friendly choices—upcycle, reuse, and spread joy responsibly! Let’s light up this festival with sustainability and creativity. 🎉🌿

Composting is nature's recycling system - it transforms organic waste into nutrient-rich soil conditioner. It's not just eco-friendly; it's a game-changer for waste management. Many times because of the toxic nature of certain wastes, even the most biodegradable waste does not break down in landfills. Join the composting revolution today!

Our goal at Teach For Green is to create a movement of civic leaders who will promote sustainable environmental practices. By creating an ecosystem that supports the growth of green businesses and an immersive curriculum, we hope to increase people's awareness of the environment and environmental consciousness. To develop individuals as community leaders for environmental sustainability, we stimulate individuals' curiosities, inception of innovation, and self-reliance.
Taking up a DIY approach instils a sense of curiosity and relatability in the students. The topics we work on, as a part of our experiential learning workshops and training sessions are - Waste, Water, Green Energy, Agriculture and Health.

We eliminates the significant knowledge gap between environmental challenges and actions that may be taken on a daily basis by educating rural and semi-rural people about environmental issues through in-depth and enjoyable experiential learning. We think it's crucial for training to be designed in a way that makes learning experientially connected to daily life in order for learning to provide value to the actual lives of people in rural and remote places. This method naturally goes beyond the dry rote learning method used to temporarily succeed on tests or final exams.
Here are the methods we use to bring out vision to life.

Plastic comes in a wide range of sorts in addition to its many varied shapes and colours. Each one is unique and serves a particular purpose. Because of the chemicals they contain, some forms of plastic, including some that can be recycled, are reusable while others must be disposed of in a different way.

The Resin Identification Code (RIC) system, which classified plastic resins into 7 different groups, was first presented by the Society of the Plastics Industry in 1988.

Its objective was to "provide a consistent national system to facilitate the recycling of post-consumer plastics." Since then, the RIC has been accepted as the global standard plastic categorization

All plastic containers have a number written on their base, let's try to understand what these numbers actually mean.

Recycling has been emphasised as the finest waste management practise for a long time in our education. It was also cited by 59% of respondents in an Ipsos survey from 2021 as the top thing they might be doing to lessen their carbon footprint. Well, it’s time to bust that myth.

According to the waste hierarchy, recycling is one of the last things we can do for our waste. There are a number of other, more beneficial activities we may do in its place.

The Waste Hierarchy provides us with simple solutions and encourages mindful consumption. Here are the 8 R’s of waste management!
